Soeren and I finished breakfast and went back to the small garden on the top floor of the hostel to chat.

"Scarliet, how are you?" He asked me with concern.

I pushed the hair on my forehead back to the back of my head: "It's okay." What about you? ”

He stretched out his palms upwards: "You see, I don't have any money." ”

"Didn't you just give it to you?"

"Not borrowed?"

"Borrowed, of course!"

He smiled, with a "look, it's funny" expression.

He was wearing a gray-black tracksuit, with the blue edge of the dress inside peeking out of his neck, probably the T-shirt I was familiar with, and he had been wearing it for three years.

Soeren is a tall, sturdy mountaineer who prepares for the climb and runs 10 kilometers. His usual clothes are only bought when they are on sale, and the clothes for five euros and ten euros look good to wear, such as the T-shirt in his current sportswear. He has this self-confidence, and he doesn't think it's worth spending money on it. The clothes he usually wears at home are often one hole or two holes, but his climbing clothes are very expensive, a coat is at least 500 euros, and as a student who has to support himself on his own, he doesn't blink an eye when he buys it. But he doesn't have abs like Yi Xu, and he likes to drink too much. There is no wine in TheStumbleInn that he has not touched, and he knows which wine is on the first page and line of the wine list, and my first night at TheStumbleInn was a Tuesday, and I found out that some prices were not remembered during the actual battle, and he just went to host and helped me out several times. His favorite drink was German stout, which was too strong to keep his abs off, and once his friend said he drank it so much that his navel and eyes were bulging.

"Soeren, I was actually quite pleasantly surprised, I didn't expect us to have the chance to meet."

"Of course you can meet, do you know a word in German? BergundTalkommennichtzusammen，wohlaberdieMenschen。 ”

"Mountains don't meet, people want to meet." I said, "But we have known each other for a long time, and we are reunited, not reunited." ”

"Do you have someone new you'd like to meet? Just ...... with him."

"Meet."

"Yes, meet."

"If this is true, I hope you meet someone I know. If only you had a chance to meet. ”

"Who?"

"Someone I like."

"Oh, nononono, I don't find it interesting to Lesbian!"

The sun was shining on us, and his face was shaggy. Reaching out, the sunlight passed through my fingers.

Sunlight, like happiness, is easily broken.

November 6----11, 2012

I bought my own train ticket to Shenzhen.

According to Lin Musen's previous arrangement, I was in charge of the three factories in Shenzhen, and he was in charge of the nine factories in Foshan.

He had been giving me a vaccination a few days ago, and almost all the suppliers were already aware of the murder, so the cooperation may not be in place. November is still the busiest month for the factory, and the procurement that had a good relationship with the factory in the past has left, and these factories are bound to think that we have eaten this meal without the next meal, and the production will be put back in the row, and there will be problems with the shipment. Lin Musen asked me to be patient and patient, to be patient and to be dead-faced, just like the factory, if you don't arrange production, I won't leave your company.

He also instructed me to go to the three factories one by one according to the time of shipment, not to get there before this side is finished, so that the factories can see how ruthless you are, if you disappear a little and come back for two days, they will not take you to heart. He also said, don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't worry about whether you can make a merit or not, even if we can only take care of a batch of goods now, it will be considered merit.

He asked me, "Can you pull your face down?" ”

"I don't have a face." I say.

The company has three businesses, air purifiers, power banks and watches. The three manufacturers assigned to me by Lin Musen also happened to cover all the businesses.

I took a shower at the hotel and went straight to the power bank factory. This shipment is the most urgent, and it must be shipped within a week. When I go to the battlefield, there are gongs and drums beating in my heart, can I complete the task?

Forcing myself to take a deep breath again and again, I have no way out, the money has been taken, the people have arrived, and I can only do my best. I found the relevant salesperson pony.

Pony said, "I didn't expect you to really come over, aren't your companies all dissolved?" ”

"Rumors." I said, "Are our goods produced?" ”

"Production, production, production!" She said: "Don't worry, you go back to the hotel to rest, and I will inform you before shipping." ”

I took out the design color picture of the power supply from the folder I brought: "Please take me to the workshop to have a look!" ”

"Now it's all parts, and they haven't been assembled yet, so you can't see the parts!" She said.

I took out the parts diagram from the folder again, and at this moment I found that Lin Musen was meticulous and thoughtful.

"Wasn't this product designed by our company? Even the smallest parts are here. You see, our designers and procurement are clearly written, these parts, you are purchasing outside, the oil injection silk screen and this 3D renderings are also found elsewhere, according to the contract after a week of shipment, these should have been in your warehouse or workshop, right? You produce these circuit boards yourself, and I can't understand the small parts, but the size and thickness of the circuit board are detailed on this piece of paper, which is the length and this is the width, isn't it just a ruler to measure it? ”

"Present...... Not yet. She said.

"Haven't you bought any of these parts yet?"

"Buying it!" Her tone was raised, but her gaze deliberately avoided me.

"Can I meet your manager, or boss?" I'm here, and the goods haven't been on the production line at all, so I'm not leaving, so you'll have to find a way to help. We are a good company, and no matter how big things are, we will not drag down our customers. We are also your customers, pony, to put it bluntly, we are your customers first, even if this is the last batch of goods, if the goods don't go out and the money doesn't come in, you won't get a commission. It took a lot of effort for you to make this list before, right? Are you willing to give up halfway? ”

"Of course I want to be able to do my business. But ......"

"But your boss doesn't agree."

"The boss doesn't agree, I also feel that there is a risk, what if the goods are made and you can't pay for the goods? One of your bosses died, the other was locked up, and the people in the Shenzhen office who used to have a good relationship with us are gone, even if you only buy these materials, it is a cost, not to mention our production costs. The boss doesn't agree to the production, if I insist on convincing the boss, if something happens, I will have to bear the responsibility! ”

"As long as you ship on time, the payment will definitely arrive. Do you live in your dormitory? You help me find an empty bed, I'll move in tomorrow morning, I'll mortgage myself here!" ”

"This ...... Can't you? ”

"No free beds?"

"There is a bed. But you can't take hostages, right? ”

"I am voluntary, and I will not break the law."

"I mean, you're not worth that much money, are you? Besides, what we are most worried about is that your foreign customers know that something has happened to you and will not cooperate with you! ”

"Whatever it is, they'll work with us. Because the full amount has already been paid to our company. ”

I showed her the HSBC collection records.

"I've covered the amount, but you can see the note here, 'ForBalance (70%)of1000J&WBankPower', right?"

"Is it true?"

"It's a company stamp."

"It's all okay to PS, besides, does your company still exist?"

"You look at the date, September 19th, after the accident at the company. Foreigners who give us money to earn believe in us, we let you earn money, the same Chinese, but you don't believe it? ”

That's not what it means. The main thing is that I can't be the master. ”

"You take me to meet your boss."

"It's out!"

"When will you be back?"

"Tomorrow morning. We have a company meeting every Wednesday morning. ”

"What time is it?"

"Half past eight in the morning. You'd better come at ten. ”

"Okay."

The next day I was having breakfast when my mom's phone called. It's so early, it's not even seven o'clock!

My mother's ears were also sharp, and she didn't say a few words, but she actually heard the voice of the table next to me.

"Who went to our house so early?"

"I'm on a business trip, and I'm in the hotel!" I told them the other day that I had found a job, lest they think I was messing around.

"A hotel in Guangdong? What people speak Cantonese? ”

"Shenzhen."

"Didn't you say translation? Why is the translator still on a business trip? What company makes you run around as soon as you get to work? Last time you said your job was to sit in the office, and you weren't tired? Do you often have to travel like this in the future? How can you do it like this? ”

"Mommy, Mommy!" I was so noisy by her that my head hurt: "I'm very old, you don't think I'm married yet, I find a job by myself, can you give me some free travel?" ”

That's when Pony's phone called, and I hurriedly hung up my mom's phone.

"Why don't you come back tomorrow, our boss is in a very bad mood, he was angry at the meeting, and several colleagues were criticized for no reason, don't hit the muzzle."

"What's wrong?"

"Anyway, he lost a lot of temper, and today's meeting is very short, and he just used it to get angry. After the meeting, I heard from the two managers that the boss invested in a paint factory at the beginning of the year, thinking that it must be easy to do, how can there be no paint in the manufacturing industry? I know so many furniture factory owners, and I don't have to worry about sales. I also invited R&D personnel and environmental protection personnel to research and manufacture very good paints. The test report and patent certificate have been taken down. But it can't be sold at all, the boss's so-called friends only care about eating, and they promise to be good at the dinner table, but they don't place orders, saying that the paint is unstable. Our boss has done so many tests, and the American and European standards are all in line, and there is no instability problem at all. These days, the boss himself and the company manager are running outside every day, only to see the money coming out but not the single in, and the boss is in a hurry! ”

The restaurant has a large window, and the rain scene outside unabashedly enters the sight of people on the side of the glass, and the rain is slanted by the wind, like thousands of shining spider silks floating onto the glass window, and then gathers and scatters and falls, disappearing from people's field of vision with a heroic attitude.

"I still have to go, it's only six days. If this batch of goods is not produced again, it will really miss the shipping schedule. I said.

I called my mom to say good morning, but I really didn't have the spirit to speak, so I just said a few words and hung up. My mother's phone call came again and again: "A phone call takes less than 20 seconds, and you have to honor other people's mothers for the remaining 30 seconds, right?" ”

I said sadly, "I want to, too, but I don't have a chance." ”

Regardless of whether she has that IQ and ability, the daughter-in-law who once wanted to be the mother of Yi Xu, and the intention of filial piety is real. Reality didn't give me even a second of chance.

"What did you say?"

"I said I would always honor you only!"

"That's pretty much it!"

Half an hour later, I saw the boss with deep eyebrows, my shoes, my entire calf and knee were wet, I took an umbrella, but the rain was too heavy, no matter how carefully I took care of myself, I still couldn't take care of it.

I said straight to the point: "Boss Jiang, I heard about your paint factory. I have a clumsy idea, I'd like to tell you about it, I wonder if you'd like to give it a try? ”

"Really?" He said half-incredulously, "I would like to hear about it!" ”

We used words awkwardly, and I really wanted to pump my mouth.

"Before I do that, I want to talk to you about our shipment."

My words seemed to have to go from Shenzhen to Changsha and then to the capital and then through the deep clouds before they could come back to reach his ears, and it took him a long time before he said with a slightly unhappy expression: "Yes! How do you want to talk? ”

"First, something did happen to our company, but it was not dissolved and will not be liquidated immediately, you are worried that the company will collapse or disappear, I am even more worried, you have such a large asset, I am a part-time worker, and I can't take the risk by living on the salary of thousands of yuan. Since I came, I am sure that the company will still operate in the short term, no matter how few people are, the finance department, the purchasing department, and the sales department are still there. Second, this is our company's collection record, this batch of goods has been fully paid to our company account, I just told you, our financial department is still there, there is an accountant and a financial manager, these two people just wait for my notice, will be loaded before the payment to your account. Here is their contact information, you can go and verify. And this receipt, I will hand it to you now, sign my own name in front of you, and attach a copy of my ID card. You can check the authenticity, if HSBC can't find it, I suggest calling the police directly, treat me as a fraud suspect, the police will verify, accurate and fast! ”

"That's not necessary." As he said this, he handed me a pen, which I signed and handed to him.

I am like a small moss flower, and I also learn that peonies are about to bloom!

"Third, I'm not just a QC, I'm a salesperson. At such a critical juncture for the company, I have almost all of the company's customer information. If you change jobs another day, you will definitely not jump out of this industry, and no one will be stupid enough to have such amazing resources but choose another path from scratch, right? Anyone has this brain! Why not continue to cooperate with factories that have been comfortable working together before? So in the future, what I can bring to you is not only the business volume of an ordinary salesman, but also the new company thinks that the factory I recommend is good, and naturally the orders of other colleagues are also here! Do you say yes? ”

He crossed his arms over his chest: "That's! ”

"Fourth, I moved from the hotel at noon, please arrange a vacant shop for me, I eat and live here, work hard with friends in the workshop, do as much as you can, I hope you can see my sincerity and determination!"

"You can see it, you can see it. So what do you tell us about paint? ”

"If my method is useful, I hope that my shipment will be on the production line by the morning after tomorrow at the latest."

He suddenly clapped his right hand with his left hand and applauded: "Of course!" Oh, actually, whether this batch of goods makes money or not is secondary, and it's not a big deal if I lose some money, and it's not that I can't afford to lose! Mainly you are a friend, I am willing to make it! Don't worry, as you say, the day after tomorrow morning at the latest! I'm here to slap the table guaranteed! ”

As he spoke, he slapped the table, and the water in the glass in front of me almost jumped out.

"Tell me, then, what do you think about paint?"

"Boss Jiang, I'm a person, I don't have any advantages, but I can play a little chess, although I am not good at learning, I can be regarded as a little bit of knowledge. Do you play chess? ”

"Yes, but I'm too busy, I haven't been down in a long time."

"I was taught by a master to play chess, and my master said that each type of chess has its own rules, and the rules of chess are to shoot enemies over the mountains, horses to go to the Japanese, and the cars to drive straight in, and they will be afraid of pawns. You let the horses go to the fields, and the cars replace the guns, no! I guess paint has its own rules. Why do the bosses of the furniture factory use which steel, which aluminum alloy, and which cloth they use, he can calculate it, but the paint is not good, is it because the stability of the paint is not something that people sitting in the office or eating in the box can master? Is it possible that no matter how good the paint is, the paint master of the production line can drip into it, and it can become a defective product? If so, it's not just the boss who needs you to be invited to dinner, but also the painter. Maybe the boss said it didn't count, the quality inspection report didn't count, and the patent certificate didn't count, but it was the paint master who didn't get into your eyes that said it. ”

Boss Jiang suddenly slapped the table again, and this time the water in the cup spilled on the table.

"Makes sense!" He said.

He yelled, "Pony, come in!" ”

The pony came running in immediately.

"I'm out for something, Miss Ye, I have to let the pony greet you!"

"It's okay, you're busy."

"Please Miss Ye go out for lunch and let the driver send you back to the hotel, Miss Ye, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will personally pick you up at the hotel."

"Can you arrange an empty bed for me?" I don't want to run back and forth, so I'll bother you these days. ”

He nodded with a smile and raised his big hand: "Pony, you go and arrange it!" ”

The pony quickly arranged it for me. It was just me and her in that dorm. I bought the cheapest mattresses, sheets and quilts at the small supermarket opposite the factory and had free accommodation. I settled down and went to the toilet, there was a mirror on the toilet sink, and when I looked up and saw my face after washing my face, I was thin, my cheekbones were bulging, and I looked really mean.

I gave the front desk 50 yuan when I checked out of the hotel, and I left the address of this hotel office, I asked the front desk to pay attention to it, and if there is a letter, notify me immediately.

When I went back to the hotel to pick up my luggage, I passed by a flower shop with a huge billboard hanging outside - the Christmas tree was booked in advance.

Funny comes to mind. Mrs. Wang told me that in the years when Funny's physical strength was okay, she would secretly cut down her family's pine trees to make Christmas trees every Christmas, and their family would go back to China every Christmas. The first time I went back, I found out that there was a thief, I called the police, and found out that it was Funny, so I didn't pursue it. It's the neighbors who can't be investigated, it's the women who live alone, and the old people who later become lonely and widowed can't be held accountable, so they can only suffer dumb losses year after year. Funny didn't "disappoint" them, and one year he specially reminded Mrs. Wang, saying that you want to kill insects for trees, and when spring arrives in my house, many insects are brought from Christmas trees!

I don't know if she's okay now.

In the evening, when the pony returned to the dormitory after working overtime, I had just finished a translation. After I passed the document to the translation agency, Pony turned on her little TV and we chatted while watching the TV. Her boss must have told her to deal with me carefully. I asked a little bit about the situation in the factory, and she couldn't be prepared, hurriedly walking back and forth, changing other topics, and I was also interested, and I complained about the exaggerated advertisements on TV with her.

"By the way, was the boss of your company really killed by his son?" She asked suddenly.

"Nope!" I laughed exaggeratedly: "The police have found a new clue, and they will be released in a few days!" ”

"Really?" She asked with interest, "What clue?" ”

I kept a friendly smile, "I don't know what the specific clue is." Lawyers can't reveal too much to petty people like us, what if we leak the news? ”

"Yes. Is it true that your company will not go out of business? ”

My smile froze a little: "Of course not!" Why do you ask? ”

In addition to her, the owners of this factory, and the owners of other cooperative factories, are also so suspicious?

"Won't it?" She asked again exaggeratedly, her voice so high that the cramped dormitory was about to vibrate.

I was so angry that my nose crooked. That's the effort of Yixu's mother and his heart! How can it go out of business?

"In the Pearl River Delta, batches of factories have closed down in recent years! There are many strange reasons, but there is only one consequence - 'The boss ran away with the mistress!' The proprietress has remarried! ’”

Knowing that she wasn't targeting Yi Xu, I was reluctantly amused again.

Xiaoma is a native of Shanxi, and has been in Shenzhen for four years, and his biggest dream is to have a Shenzhen hukou and take root in Shenzhen in the future.

"Don't you want to go back to Shanxi?" I asked her.

She was silent for a few seconds with her mouth half-open, and finally showed a kind smile and said, "There is no one in the house!" The whole village except for the elderly are all working outside, and those who mix well will develop in the big cities, and those who are almost mixed will earn a little money and go back to do some small business. Houses are being demolished everywhere to build houses, the appearance of the village has changed, it is deserted, and there is no point in going back, just miss it in your heart...... It's just that sometimes I think about it, well, how to put it, that feeling, it kind of hurts. ”

The wind outside the window is clear and the moon is bright, and the fallen leaves gather and disperse. Whether it's people or things that you miss, it's probably like this.

On TV, Hunan Satellite TV was broadcasting a piece of social news, but I didn't pay attention to the content, only to see rows of small red brick and tile houses, old but beautiful, surrounded by lush trees, like sturdy soldiers protecting the old king. There are fewer and fewer old houses like Changsha in the future, I don't know where people should search for time in the future, the subway will reduce the traffic pressure, and it will also take away the past of many authentic Changsha people.

All developments are probably the laughter of young people and the tears of old people.

The next afternoon, Pony told me that his boss had informed the purchaser to go out to buy materials. On the morning of the fourth day, 1005 shells were put into storage, and 5 more were prepared, just in case, the LOGO silk screen printing was very good, and the 3D renderings were also very good. Circuit boards, as well as other parts, are also rolling up the production line. I inform the customer, the freight company and Manager Liang of the shipment plan for the next day. On the sixth day, 1000 power supplies were assembled, paid, and loaded, although it was a day late, it was considered a smooth shipment.

Relieved, I got into the car arranged by Xiaoma and called Lawyer Ma to ask if there was any progress.

Lawyer Ma said: "The scene of the crime ruled out the possibility that a fourth person had appeared. In addition to the fingerprints of the two deceased's fatal murder knives, the male deceased was also found, the knife was used to peel apples before the murder, and there was a half-cut apple on the coffee table at the scene of the crime. In addition, the male deceased was an orphan since he was a child, and his grandfather died when he was a teenager, and he has no relatives anymore. He is a withdrawn person in life, he has almost no friends outside of work, whether it is a neighbor in Shenzhen or Changsha, he only has an impression of his face, he has not made deep friends, and he can't call his name. ”

Easy to Continue:

You're famous, and people ask about you every day.

I'm going to have to force my smile and hold on to the work here. Feeling like a turkey in the oven hurts to lock up.

Come out, or we'll both be locked up."

It's a pity
